Tschaikowsky Rococeo Variations, he is at all. times theinterpreter par excellence.■Schuster’s own Variations on a Theme by Corelli, which closed the program, proved him to be a thoroughly groundedcomposer as well. .The program last evening was even more significant for Mr. Schuster for it included the debut of his 20*year-old son, John, as a concert pianist. Few young performers could face an audience of about 2500 people on their very first public performance, but John appeared to be completely at ease.The pianist’s first group included Chopin selections — two Preludes, the Grand Valse Bril-liante in A minor and the first movement of the Sonata, Op. 35. His second group included Debussy’s “Minstrels” and two Rachmaninoff Preludes.Rather than the usual flashy dispay too often chosen by young artists in an exaggerated effort to impress at the expense of clarity and accuracy,* John Schuster wisely chose an intelligent approach. His playing can best be defined as neat, with articulate phrasing, nicely balanced counter-melodies clearly produced and warm, firm tone.^ j ^For an encore, the pianist chose the siinpie, singing Waltz in A Fat by Brahms. ]John returned after his father’s final group to accompany him for two encores, a Mendelssohn “Song Without Words” anda Chopin Nocturne.Another pianist who looked hardly any older than John, also performed brilliantly last evening. He was Gerald Robbins who was the cellist’s assisting artist and one of the best. They opened the program with the Haydn Divertimento in D Major and Chopin’s Introduction and Polonaise No. 3. Later works also included the. whimsical “Masks” from Prokofieff* “Romeo and Juliet” and Ravel’shaunting “Habanera.”Preceding the Tschaikowsky Variations, Mr. Schuster announced his wish to play themelodious “Song” by Dvorak which he dedicated to his friend of Many years, . Mrs. GeorgeEmmett. Mullen, founder-Presi-dent of Redlands Community Music Association. . From the rest home where Mrs. Mullen is now living, she sent a special message which was read at intermission by the Bowl coordinator, Charles D. Perlee.For the second time this season, students in the Upward Bound program now in session at the University of Redlands served as ushers. One of their members, Dean Means, spoke briefly at intermission.Next Tuesday’s program will be presented by pianist Ronald Jacobowitz, also one of the nation’s leading mathematicians, and soprano Marai Nixon, the singing “voice” of such stars at Deborah , Kerr, Natalie. Wood and Audrey Hepburn.BO'RedvaltLacOfoplt;Thrc pitals day, I “Mad*
